Oriented PCA method for blind speech separation of convolutive mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with blind speech separation of convolutive mixtures of sources. The separation criterion is based on Oriented Principal Components Analysis (OPCA) in the frequency domain. OPCA is a (second order) extension of standard Principal Component Analysis (PCA) aiming at maximizing the power ratio of a pair of signals. The convolutive mixing is obtained by modeling the Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF). Experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed approach in terms of subjective and objective evaluation, when compared to the Degenerate Unmixing Evaluation Technique (DUET) and the widely used C-FICA (Convolutive Fast-ICA) algorithm.

Blind Speech Separation in Multiple Environments Using a Frequency Oriented PCA Method for Convolutive Mixtures
This paper reports the results of a comparative study on blind speech separation (BSS) of two types of convolutive mixtures. The separation criterion is based on Frequency Oriented Principal Components Analysis (FOPCA). This method is compared to two other well-known methods: the Degenerate Unmixing Evaluation Technique (DUET) and Convolutive Fast Independent Component Analysis (C-FICA). The ef...
متن کاملSubband-Based Blind Separation for Convolutive Mixtures of Speech
We propose utilizing subband-based blind source separation (BSS) for convolutive mixtures of speech. This is motivated by the drawback of frequency-domain BSS, i.e., when a long frame with a fixed long frame-shift is used to cover reverberation, the number of samples in each frequency decreases and the separation performance is degraded. In subband BSS, (1) by using a moderate number of subband...
متن کاملBlind Source Separation of Convolutive Audio Using an Adaptive Stereo Basis
We consider the problem of convolutive blind source separation of audio mixtures. We propose an Adaptive Stereo Basis (ASB) method based on learning a set of basis vectors pairs from the time-domain stereo mixtures. The basis vector pairs are clustered using estimated directions of arrival (DOAs) such that each basis vector pair is associated with one source. The ASB method is compared with the...
متن کاملSeparating Underdetermined Convolutive Speech Mixtures
A limitation in many source separation tasks is that the number of source signals has to be known in advance. Further, in order to achieve good performance, the number of sources cannot exceed the number of sensors. In many real-world applications these limitations are too restrictive. We propose a method for underdetermined blind source separation of convolutive mixtures. The proposed framewor...
متن کاملBlind source separation of FIR convolutive mixtures: application to speech signals
In this paper we present a simple method to deal with Blind Source Separation (BSS) of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) convolutive mixtures. The global method proceeds in two steps. The first step consists in separating each source contribution in the mixture. This step provides several filtered version of each source. The second step consists in retrieving the original sources from the set of fi...
